NEW ORLEANS. 



We are having great weather in the 

 Crescent City. At the time of writing, 

 January 10, a tropical .storm has paid 

 us a visit; tomorrow Jack Frost may 

 swoop down, so uncertain is the 

 weather. 



The severe frost of February last 

 did not hurt the camellias so badly as 

 was thought. Though the plants were 

 cut back to some extent, they are 

 laden with buds, and will shortly pre- 

 sent a beautiful sight. Many of the 

 large palms were completely killed, 

 smaller ones not so bad. A large num- 

 ber were imported from California to 

 fill the gaps, but many failed to ac- 

 commodate themselves to their new 

 home. 



U. J. Virgin has grown a fine lot of 

 Phoenix canariensis from seedlings, 

 which will not fail to take hold. He 

 has also made a hit in growing roses, 

 cutting 8,000 Brides and Maids during 

 the month of December. It is but a 

 short time since a rose under glass 

 was unknown in this city. 



M. Cook plants out what L. Harrisii 

 he has left over and by so doing ob- 

 tains plants free from disease. They 

 bloom in the beds of the house where 

 planted. Carnations are doing very 

 well and will doubtless do better when 

 propagated from own stock. 



The successor to Mr. Fonta as su- 

 perintendent of Audubon park is Mr. 

 Edward Baker, one of the earliest 

 nurserymen of this city and who is 

 quite at home here. Some changes 

 and much improvement has been made 

 both in the hall and park grounds. 

 One of the most brilliant effects I have 

 yet seen was a combination of Bou- 

 gainvillea Sanderiana, Jasminum nu- 

 diflorum. Plumbago capensis. Poinset- 

 tia pulcherrima and Bignonia venus- 

 ta, all in full bloom, surrounded by 

 stately palms and bushy ferns. 



George Thomas, gardener to Mrs. 

 Whitney, has received from Mr. Fonta 

 a new ever-bearing grape from France, 

 from which a famed brand of wine is 

 made. M. 



KEWANEE. ILL.— Claude M. Ham- 

 ilton has purchased a third interest in 

 the firm of Hamilton & Plummer. The 

 firm name remains unchanged. 



E. H. HUNT, Chicago, has just is- 

 sued his new catalogue for I'JOO and it 

 is very attractively gotten up. A great 

 variety of stock in the way of trade 

 supplies is offered and it is very con- 

 veniently arranged for reference. The 

 list of florists' seeds is especially full 

 and complete. It will be sent to any 

 one in the trade on request.
